when it changes
What else can I help you with?
When is the potential energy of something significant?
The potential energy of something is significant when there is a change in its position or configuration within a force field, such as gravitational, electric, or magnetic. It represents the stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy when the object is allowed to move or change position.
What is kaneticate and potential energy?
Kenatic energy is when something is moving potential energy is when something isn't moving -_________________________Flames Rock
Is electrical enerty potential energy?
Electricity itself is not potential energy, but rather a form of energy that results from the movement of charged particles. However, electrical energy can be stored as potential energy in batteries or capacitors.
What is the word for how much energy something contains?
Potential energy.
What are the differences between potential energy and kinetic energy and thermal energy?
potential energy- is derived chemically from something kinetic energy-is derived from something by the motion the object has thermal energy-is derived by heat or cold
What are the difference between potential energy kinetic energy and thermal energy?

How is gravitational potential energy different from potential energy?
It is different because gravitational potential energy is when something is getting pulled by gravity and potential energy is stored energy which means that it is not moving and the energy is not getting released as gravitational energy is.
Which state of energy is when something is ABOUT to happen?
Potential energy is energy that is not kinetic or moving.
What do gravitational potential energy and chemical potential energy have in common?
In both cases, energy is involved in pushing something against a force.
What happens to the energy you use when you lift something?
When you lift something, the energy you use is converted from stored chemical energy in your muscles into gravitational potential energy of the object. This potential energy is then transferred to the object, giving it the ability to do work.
How would you explain the difference between potential and kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is energy related to movement. The formula is (1/2) mass times velocity squared. Potential energy is energy of position. The formula for gravitional potential energy is mgh (mass times gravitation times height).
Differentiate kinetic energy from potential energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, while potential energy is the energy stored in an object based on its position or configuration. Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity, while potential energy depends on height, position, or state of compression/expansion.
